San Jose Municipal Rose Garden: Explore an Oasis of Colorful, Fragrant Flowers
July 10, 2017 | sack
The San Jose Municipal Rose Garden is stunning any time of year, but those who visit it often have a simple pro tip for you: come in the summertime. That's when the garden is in full bloom and fragrant, filled with a rainbow's worth of bright hues and just as many sweet scents.
It's no wonder why this is a popular spot for wedding ceremonies and photos, but you don't need a special occasion to visit the Rose Garden. Come by on any sunny day in San Jose to explore its many corners. The gardens fan out from a central fountain that's surrounded immediately by European roses and flowers reminiscent of a steely blue iceberg. Beyond this layer of flora, explore to find the Lavender Dream Garden, the Rainbow Home section, and the groves of trees that are blossoming with aromatic buds.
